Perhaps Councillors voted to close the list because they disapprove of some of the comments made on it. Referring to Councillors as "dummies" and "gullible" are not very professional and lend force to the argument for closing it. The Councillors are there because they have the interests of the profession at heart. As Karen Blakeman has already advised, there were good arguments put forward from both sides. It was then put to a vote. Democracy in action.

So let's encourage and support the 11 who seem to know which way is up, and when the time comes replace the 23 and the 7. It's the Council that makes the decisions and the composition of the Council is in our own hands. And no, I've never stood for Council, but I might.

This was agenda item number 3 at Council. Chris Armstrong's paper on why LIS-CILIP should be retained and Jill Martin's paper on the Communities of Practice were both discussed in detail by councillors. The essence of Chris's paper has already been circulated via this list. I am not going to attempt to summarise the discussion but I felt that all the arguments for keeping the list were well presented. The motion on which we voted was to retain LIS-CILIP alongside the communities of practice. The votes were as follows: For: 11 Against: 23 Abstentions: 7 For the record, I voted to keep LIS-CILIP. I recall that it was also agreed that LIS-CILIP should remain until it can be demonstrated that the Communities of Practice have at least the same number of members and level of participation as LIS-CILIP.
